The Early Modern workshop and the Western Mediterranean workshop have merged into the Early Modern and Mediterranean Worlds (1200-1800) workshop.

This workshop is designed for graduate students and other presenters to receive feedback from the professors and students who attend the workshop, and to help generate interdisciplinary discussion for the benefit of presenters and workshop attendees alike. We intend the workshop to be broadly inclusive in terms of time, discipline, methodology, and geography. We hope that this growing discussion will be facilitated by the inclusion of panels and roundtable discussions in the workshop schedule throughout the year alongside the traditional presentations of graduate student and faculty research.

We focus on every aspect of early modernity, broadly defined as ca. 1200-1800, and we welcome projects that push the workshop’s boundaries, from longue-duree studies looking backwards or forwards from the Early Modern period, to Mediterranean and European cultures’ interactions with distant regions, including Asia and the Americas.
